About Bardstown Bourbon Goose Island Stout Finish Collaboration
The Bardstown Bourbon Company Goose Island Bourbon County Stout Finish is a limited-edition collaborative whiskey that blends 6 and 7-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon aged an additional 12 months in freshly emptied Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout barrels, then married with 9-year-old Kentucky bourbon. This innovative expression captures the essence of both bourbon and craft beer traditions, delivering chocolate malt and dried cherry notes. At 100 proof, it's a sophisticated sipper for enthusiasts who appreciate barrel-finished whiskeys and the intersection of bourbon and beer craftsmanship. The unrinsed stout barrels impart authentic, complex flavors that distinguish it from traditional barrel-finished bourbons.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Dark chocolate, honey, toasted almond, and vanilla cream create an enveloping, decadent aroma. Pleasant cherry and freshly cut apples emerge alongside bright vanilla and milk chocolate notes. The stout influence is subtle on the nose but sets the stage for the palate experience.
👅 Palate
Roasted malt, cacao, and allspice lead the charge with a full, moderate body and lightly slick texture. Bittersweet flavors combine with barrel spice, rye grain, leather, and charred oak, while beery and yeasty notes appear on the edges. The higher malted barley content is evident throughout, creating a harmonious balance between bourbon and stout characteristics.
✨ Finish
Coffee and chocolate stout notes emerge prominently upon exhaling, with a lingering sharpness combining dark chocolate, crushed walnuts, and oakiness. The barrel-aged stout finish lingers beautifully, creating a memorable conclusion that rewards contemplation.
